Subject: RE: Songs that mention food From: Donuel Date: 11 Nov 24 - 02:38 PM I had three donuts and two cups of coffee But that didn't stop my appetite I had only eaten a box of cookies very late last night I had ten pancakes with plenty of syrup and butter And two slices of ham Three eggs, home fries, and four biscuits all smothered in jam Two glasses of milk and a cheesecake I thought I didn't want anymore I just had to buy twelve of those mints in that bowl by the door That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight Now its lunch time and I believe I'll eat again I'm not going to eat as much as I did for breakfast Because I want to get thin Let me have a bowl of chile con carne and two corn beefs on rye A large order of french fries, a malt And a slice of banana cream pie Two candy bars, one soda for my late afternoon snack And ah, and ah, two bags of potato chips so I won't have to come back That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight While waiting for my dinner, I had four shots of alcohol A chef's salad with lots of dressing and crackers, but not much meat at all Had a steak, candied yams, rice, lemonade, macaroni cheese Cornbread, banana pudding and a side order of black-eyed peas I stopped at the grocery store I'm gonna load up my refrigerator I'm gonna sit down and watch television and I'll have something to eat later That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Eddie Harris / Lolita Harris / Sara Harris / Yvonne Harris That Is Why You're Overweight lyrics © Seventh House Ltd. |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE PIZZA SONG (Trish Santer) From: Tattie Bogle Date: 05 Nov 24 - 05:56 PM And to follow that, here's my pizza song: THE PIZZA SONG © Trish Santer - Oct 2002 Chorus Well, you can't eat that pizza, 'cos it's mine, I bought it for a very special reason, There ain't another pizza quite like it in the world, So leave it in that freezer just a-freezin'. I went to Tesco's Friday 9 p.m., I waited for the girl with the stickers and the marker pen, When she marked that pizza down to less than half a crown I had the very best bargain in the end. Chorus It may be just a simple Margarita, But I have plans to make it taste much sweeter, With a full tin of anchovies, and half a pound of stovies, And pepperoni, cheese and more tomater. Chorus I'm saving it for after the theater, We won't have time to eat till so much later, It's then when we're both starving, that pizza we'll be halving, So tonight you'd better have a baked potater. Chorus So now it's at the bottom of the freezer, Where maybe it could be forgot for ever, But in a year or two, when it's perma-frosted through, I'll be so glad I kept that bargain pizza. Chorus |
